OMG! This just made me sick to hear! I'm glad you're taking their advice and running to the ER Vet! Please update when you get back. Praying your little one is OK!

Patti · 07-16-2009, 07:21 PM

I am so glad you are headed to the vets. I hope nothing serious is found.

I was the one that posted the thread about our neighbor keeping her small dog on the balcony yesterday. I do hope that your little one pulls through and turns out to be ok! I'll be saying a little prayer!

Amazingly nopthing is broken, his legs were all twisted weird because of his concusion and he was still out of it. W-Rays came out clear, he got a morphine shot and just needs some rest. If he's not better in the morning it might be some head trama but hopefully not.

Apparently because he's so small (1yr old) he was able to handle the fall (25ft) and not break anything.

Thanks so much for all your advice and prayers. We consider ourselves very very lucky.

capt_noonie · 07-16-2009, 08:06 PM

Wow, that is great news! Give him lots of love! He's very lucky!

Oh wow! That's a miracle. Praying he continues to do well.

Patti · 07-16-2009, 08:09 PM

Amazing. I am so glad he seems ok after such a major fall. Thanks for updating.

BonBon · 07-17-2009, 04:40 AM

That is a miracle!! To fall that far and survive - with NO injuries!? Wow. I can't imagine your relief.

Please let us know how he is this morning.

ARCHIE · 07-17-2009, 05:17 AM

Talk about miracles! Your baby has a guardian angel watching over him.
That's wonderful news to hear. Prayer's coming that there was no
trauma to the head when he's feeling better. Keep us informed.
Please, no more balcony when your not there.
Best wishes,

Kenna · 07-17-2009, 06:11 AM

Wow, very happy to hear nothing was broken. I hope your little baby is recovering from the fall. Hugs!

Coach · 07-17-2009, 06:51 AM

He's not able to walk yet, his rear leags are very stiff and the front left leg very floppy. Poor little fella hasn't made a single noise the whole time. He's going to need allot of love and physical therapy to get him back on his feet but he's eating and drinking today and is definitely better than yesterday.

My wife is staying home with him today and we have a Vet's appt tomorrow. The x-rays show no internal damage or broken limbs.

Don't worry we're definitely not letting him on the balcony again.

Thank you.

Have you thought of plexi-glass on your balcony.....don't know the rules of where you live, but it would give him acess to the outdoors.

or baby gates across the width of your balacony. I see that where
I live for the little ones. Even chicken wire on the inside of the
balacony. That you can't see from the road incase there are
rules where you live.
I will keep your little one in my prayers in hopes he can more
his little legs again. Poor baby.

I'd keep a close eye on symptoms of a spinal injury. That is a awful long way to fall and not have any injuries. I don't think a concussion would cause the legs to not work properly. I hope everything is ok and nothing shows up later.

I agree with the others to somehow put something around the balcony so that this doesn't happen again. We put chicken wire around our porch so that the girls don't fall off. You can hardly see it and only if you are right up on the porch.

Good luck and keep us posted.
